This is a moderate intensity class to provide you a foundation in the fundamental fighting skills with a handgun. The intent of the course is to teach the student individual skills for the use of a pistol in close range, high speed, defensive scenarios. The individual will learn robust and reliable methods for presentation and manipulation to maximize their effectiveness with the pistol. This course will be primarily designed around the semi-auto pistol, but other systems will be covered and are suitable for use. If you have any questions regarding the suitability of your system, please feel free to contact us.
